Hi Everyone,
We just had our 1st Webinars this Monday and Tuesday, explaining the Ground-Breaking Vivos treatment. If you missed them, please call our office and we can get you a videotape. It is hard for me to put into words how excited our entire team is about being able to offer this revolutionary solution to Snoring & Sleep Apnea. There are 2 things I want you to be aware of:
|
|
1. No more CPAP or Dental Appliances: Both the CPAP and the Appliances we treat you with at Snore Experts are things you have to do for life. Meaning you have to wear them every night or you suffer the consequences. They treat the problem when you wear them but they don’t fix the problem. As you know, the problem is your tongue is too big for your mouth. So, it goes backwards, blocking your airway causing Snoring & Sleep Apnea. It keeps your brain from getting the vital Oxygen it needs.
|
|
The Vivos treatment is a type of orthodontic treatment lasting 18 – 24 months and in a pain-free way, expands your jaws to make room for your tongue. The result - - In a recent study, 25% of the participants at the end of treatment no longer needed to wear anything. Not a CPAP or a Dental Appliance. This is truly a next generation treatment
|
|
2. Kids: We have already discussed the fact that both Snoring & Sleep Apnea is about a Big Tongue in a Mouth that is too small. This happens between the ages of 2 and 12. The question always was “What if we could fix the kids? Make sure their mouth grew large enough to fit the tongue?” Well, now we can finally do this! Yes, by treating the kids, they should never Snore or have Sleep Apnea.

You are probably well aware of the massive increase in ADHD with our kids over previous generations. A number of studies are all pointing to the fact that many of these kids have airway issues. Meaning they are not getting Oxygen when they sleep. You can tell when you see them breathing through their mouth. By the way, “Mouth Breathing” is NOT normal. Nose Breathing IS. If you see a kid, or an adult, breathing through their mouth, their jaws are too small for their tongue and they are struggling to get Oxygen to their brain. At sleep, they struggle big time. With this new Vivos treatment, we can treat these kids to give them the proper jaw size they were supposed to have. Aside from feeling so much better, they will look better as well.
To find out more, call our office today and we can schedule a time to come in and discuss these treatments in more detail. If you have Children and/or Grandchildren who have allergies, ADHD, are Bed-wetting, Snoring, tired during the day, having behavioral issues and/or mouth-breathing get them in to see us. There is finally help.
To open airways, great sleep and optimal health for everyone.
Best - - Dr. Greenburg

For the partners of chronic snorers, sleep can prove elusive, no matter how many foam earplugs you test out – but sleeping separately may seem like a last resort for a relationship.
However, a leading sleep scientist has advised couples dealing with this issue to see having different bedrooms as the “beginning of a new relationship”.
Better sleep will ideally make both partners “happier, more responsive to each other, less irritable”, according to Russell Foster, a professor of circadian neuroscience at the University of Oxford.

Roundworms need a good night’s sleep to maintain the memories associated with particular smells, a study suggests.
When trained to avoid a sweet scent, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) nematodes can still remember to do so after 16 hours, as long as their post-training nap is uninterrupted. But disturbing their sleep prevents crucial changes to their nervous system that are involved in forming long-lasting memories.
|
|
Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a method of deep-brain stimulation (DBS) during sleep that enhances memories, by making them less susceptible to interference and disruption as time passes.
Calling it a “breakthrough,” the team study showed for the first time that long-lasting memories are consolidated in the human brain through communication between the hippocampus and the cerebral cortex during sleep.

The makers of an app called Sleep Reset claim it can help you get more (and better) sleep without the use of drugs — and they have the study to prove it. A group of researchers from the University of Arizona's Sleep and Health Research Program, some of whom also serve as the company's medical advisors, have just published a paper in peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Sleep. The paper details the results of a 12-week program that used Sleep Reset, which apparently increased the average participant's sleep time by 44 minutes.

Name: Steven S.
Age: 44
Years of snoring: 9
Number of snoring products tried: 3
Experience: When I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, I procrastinated for many years and ignored the results of three different sleep tests because I did not want to use a CPAP machine. After realizing how serious my condition was, and feeling exhausted before my day even started, I contacted Dr. Greenburg for help. With his sophisticated equipment he made my sleep apnea appliance. I was excited about wearing it as an alternative to the CPAP. From the very first night I experienced an improvement in my sleeping and even felt rested in the morning. Best of all my wife is finally getting her well deserved sleep! I would never again think of going to sleep without my appliance.

Q: Can my weight affect the quality of my sleep? (Andy K.)
Andy, yes. being overweight can fuel poor sleep because it promotes soft tissue development in your throat, which increases your risk for sleep apnea. The good news is studies also show that shedding excess weight can lead to significant and clinically relevant improvements in sleep apnea. Studies also show that losing sleep can itself lead directly to weight gain: It increases levels of ghrelin, the so-called hunger hormone, decreases leptin, the “satiety hormone,” and causes people to consume more snacks and high-calorie junk foods throughout the day.
This brings up an important factor that is often overlooked in how well people sleep: Their diet. We know from studies that diets high in sugar, saturated fat and simple carbs — think donuts, pizza, cheeseburgers and sugary drinks and snacks — are linked to both weight gain and poor sleep. Instead of eating junk foods, fill your plate with foods high in protein, fiber and unsaturated fat, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, olive oil and avocados. These foods have been shown to promote good sleep. If you suffer from insomnia, then consider adding more complex carbs to your diet, such as beans, whole grains, sweet potatoes, quinoa and oatmeal. Studies show that eating complex carbs can help you fall asleep faster. But sugar, white bread, pastries and other processed carbs can cause more frequent wake-ups throughout the night.

Q: How does the temperature of my bedroom affect my sleep? (Betty W.)
Betty, for thousands of years, humans could count on one constant in their lives: Every single day the sun rises, and at night it falls. As a result, our bodies follow a 24-hour circadian rhythm that governs many of our metabolic and physiological processes, including our body temperatures, which rise in the morning and fall at night. This decrease in body temperature at night helps initiate sleep, which is one reason people tend to toss and turn when their bedrooms are too hot or humid. A higher body temperature makes it difficult to drift off, and it can disrupt the quality of your slumber, causing you to experience less slow-wave sleep, also known as deep sleep.
